There's so much influence that comes from the stories we share. In a world full of distractions it can be hard to stay focused on what's most important. At times it feels like there's just too much to try and grasp. We need people like you who have had the experiences necessary to be able to use them to create an impact large enough to inspire and direct our focus back toward the love and happiness needed to make a difference. I feel like I've spent my whole life searching, trying out something new, changing my game plan, going to school, changing my majors, flip flopping between what I'm passionate about and how to make money, essentially needing guidance to put my efforts into something that matters and to offer my natural born skills to help others make a difference. I am a chief with no tribe. Thank you for providing a light to shine down on my path. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting to start something, not even knowing what it's going to be. Our efforts are recognized by not only the amount of work we put into them, but by the impact they leave. I can't wait to continue on my journey into helping make this world a better place. Cheers to you my friend! Your story will live on and you will continue to change the world with your message. Count me in 👊🏼

Excellent speech, excellent story and excellent way to buy happiness. Making your money matter and honoring your friends with what you have; you are leading a very fulfilling life I am sure all your loved ones, past and present, are proud of you.

[hadimakwa]

The most motivational speech EVER!!! Love you Cole. Everyone should listen to this guy!!!He's a legend!
I recommend you to all my friends.
I will share it on Facebook & Twitter

Cole, I definitely agree money can buy happiness. I come from a family entrenched in the poverty mindset, my mom has worked 2 full time jobs as long as I can remember and my dad is buried in debt. What good is a paycheck if it doesn't allow you to really live your life by design? That's why building a purpose driven business is key. The purpose behind my business is empowering and developing entrepreneurial skills and teaching financial literacy. If we've only got one life to spend might as well spend it on what truly matters.

[johnfoley]

A comment isn't enough to express how I felt watching this video! Insirpartion with a sense of purpose that's like a contagious virus, powerful enough to help others give a clear voyances towards a better life.

[franciscomendezsosa]

Man, talk about strength. I hope this gets many views and the message can reach out to many people. Too many ill conceptions about money in our society and lack of understanding the power it gives to make an impact. Thanks for sharing Cole, best of luck and hope this is shared by TED!

[jimsim]

Like Winston Churchhill said "We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give." Very inspiring! Keep up the good work.

[mrhagstv]

This is a truly a great story and why making money matters. I love the whole story leading up to the real estate and why you can use that for leverage to make a difference not only for yourself but for other people. Cole proves every day that he was meant to be on this earth. Love ya man!

[makeitbe]

Made me think about how to start a business and what I should be doing with my life. What do I want to be remembered for.

[brandondenison]

Only one word I can think of to sum this up: Inspiring.
Cole, I already had a great deal of respect for you to begin with, and now it's multiplied by 10x. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and I appreciate everything you do for us and for others. God Bless you and your family, and Thank You again!

[nathanhudson]

Cole gave me chills when he talked about the boy saving his life and at the end! Very inspirational and super pumped to see him at his event!!

Cole after hearing you speak in Denver, for the second time and then after watching this video I am starting to plan out how to make our business and a future business a for purpose company! Keep up the good work, and let us (The O'Hearn Family) know if there is a way we can get involved with your orphanage! We would love to help!
